" While I was visiting San Francisco, I stumbled upon this gem of a restaurant. The food here is a true representation of Nepalese cuisine. I ordered the chicken tikka masala and it exceeded my expectations! The staff were also quite attentive, which made my dining experience all the more enjoyable. The atmosphere was lively, especially for a Saturday night. My only minor complaint would be the serving sizes; while generous, I still wished there were more choices. Overall, a fantastic experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" Coming from a South Asian background, I've had my fair share of authentic Himalayan food, and I was thrilled to find this restaurant! The selection of vegetarian options is commendable. I particularly loved the dahi puri chaat—it reminded me of home! The service was fast and respectful, and the setting had a lovely charm. I would definitely recommend making a reservation as it can get busy, especially on weekends. I’ll be returning for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" I’ve been to Himalayan Cuisine SF twice now, and both times have been fantastic! The food is incredibly fresh with authentic flavors. I especially enjoyed the lamb curry which was rich and satisfying. The environment is cozy and nicely decorated. The service has been prompt and friendly every time. I can't wait to try more dishes on their menu. Make sure to try their Mango Lassi, it’s delicious! " (*Curated Review*)

The setting was relaxed and inviting, perfect for a family meal. I’m excited to return to try more of the menu items. " (*Curated Review*)

" The experience at Himalayan Cuisine SF was delightful. I loved the cozy setup and warm hospitality. The Chicken Thali was full of robust flavors, and the portion sizes were decent. However, the wait for the food felt a bit long, but it was definitely worth it for the taste. I'd recommend giving them a try if you’re exploring dishes from Nepal! " (*Curated Review*)
